To Boldly Wake Up Where No Man Has Woken Up Before
 |
?You’ve seen the Jedi and Sith bathrobes; now ThinkGeek has finally offered the same merchandising courtesy to Trekkies. You’re looking at the official Star Trek Kirk bathrobe, available here for $50. There’s a blue Spock version also available, and yes, it does have the correct sleeve insignia. I have to admit, I kind of wish there was a red “Away Team” cannon fodder version, because I feel less like Kirk and Spock when I wake up and more like a nameless bastard who will die horribly at any minute… at least until I’ve gotten my coffee! Hyuk hyuk! (Via Geekologie)
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
